On a different note, I can change my bar topcolor in my HN profile, would be nice to be able to change the BG and font color as well.
What is it that brings people to dark background teams? I'm genuinely interested. They were a necessity back when the quality of screens was worse, but today? Is it a fashion with many followers or is there some rationale behind it?
For me it's not that glaring.

On darker ambience dark colour schemes go easier on the eyes. I was a light-mode person until the office grew darker (because of some remodelations) and now I need dark mode to not feel the light attacking my eyes.
Also dark mode probably looks "cooler", less of an office job and more "hacking" vibes.
Bad for selling computers. Everybody wants a million of colors dancing the macarena in their computers and is nice, for like five minutes. Ten hours and your pupils are on fire.

Some things may be a problem when using multiple text colours in a single document (or to do reverse video when the document does not specify its own colours). But I had already thought of a way to work with that, which is to support indexed colours. (You could specify both an indexed and direct colour for the same property, so that the direct colour is normally used, but the indexed colour helps when needed.)
Of course, I would do it now with the existing CSS rather than the format there, although many things would be using "privileged" CSS codes, not available to document writers but are available to the user. There would also be additional unprivileged codes available, usable by both the user and the document author.
I also thought that many things can be done with "data-" attributes and CSS styles for availability by user stylesheets even if the document author does not use them. (I have used them in HTML documents that actually have no CSS at all, for this reason.)
